"I believe what really happens in history is this: the old man is always wrong; and the young people are always wrong about what is wrong with him. The practical form it takes is this: that, while the old man may stand by some stupid custom, the young man always attacks it with some theory that turns out to be equally stupid."

"Once abolish the God, and the government becomes the God."

Who is this guy and why haven't I heard of him? (http://www.chesterton.org/discover/who.html)
